If you would like to help make Christmas for a specific child, here are some ideas. Children who use Boys &Girls clubs shared their letters to Santa Claus. Feel free to make wishes come true by delivering goods to the individual clubs.
From the Lake Stevens Boys &Girls Club, 1609 E. Lakeshore Drive, Lake Stevens:
Breanna, 7: How are you and your elves? You don’t have to get me this, but I really want a real frog. I think you and your elves are the best.
Lexi, 4: How are you? Are the reindeer well fed? What I want for Christmas is Pixel Chix house. My reason for this is that I have been incredibly good and I also thought these were really cool. Here is my short list: Buttercup the Horse Aurora Super Flopsies, Yummi-Land Soda Pop Girl, a Littlest Pet Shop Toy and a SpongeBob lunch box.
Brianna, 8: I would like to have you visit me and prove other people wrong. I would like a helmet and some pads so please get me some and I have been very good.
From the Everett Boys &Girls Club, 2316 12th St., Everett:
Megan, 10: How are you? My birthday is on the 23rd. I will be 11. I was wondering how Rudolph was and if his nose still glows? What I want for Christmas this year is my own video player with some “Fairly OddParents” DVDs. I would also like a Jesse McCartney CD with the song “Right Where You Want Me” and a Ryan Cabrera’s CD “Take it All Away.”
From the Monroe Boys &Girls Club, 816 Village Way, Monroe:
Gage, 7: Can I have an iPod for Christmas please? I have been very good this year. I want some new video games. Can I have Shark (a video game)?
Kalika, 10: I was thinking my mom and Mike should get a vacation because they work so hard and they need vacation tickets. Love, your good friend.
Taylor, 6: Please give me a toy dog and my brother a Game Boy. He really deserves it. Please give me make-up. And my brother is a great brother.
Adrienne, 8: I have been a good girl. I want a German shepherd puppy with a dish with a leash with a collar with a muzzle. A girl puppy.
Jamie, 8: I hope you can get me stuff. I want a Groovy Girl set. I want like a bed, a couch, a car, a sleeping bag. Music. I hope I could see you a different time and different day. Have fun.
Jackson, 6: I have been a good boy. I want a panda bear that is small, a big toy pot that is three feet, a Lightning McQueen that talks and goes in the mud and a Rudolph nose that lights up and goes on your nose.
Lexie, 8: I have been a good girl this year. I want a Polly Pocket, a dress, dolls, Bratz, baby dolls, clothes, nail polish, Judy Blume books, a tree house, jewelry, a brand new car with a million dollars in it, my mom to go on a vacation. And I want every person in the world to have a Merry Christmas. And keep doing a good job with your work, Santa.
McKenna, 10: I have been a good little girl and I hope that I get everything on my Christmas list. I hope that this winter break my Dad gets work.
Zuzu, 5: I have been a good little girl. I would like a new necklace.
Kacie, 10: I have been a very good girl. I wish that I had a horse and I wish that I had some reindeer at my house. It would be very fun. And I want Junie B. Jones books.
Alex, 9: I’ve been a good boy. I hope my Mom and Dad get the cruise they always wished for. I really want a Play Station 3 or Xbox. I hope Rachel gets a new car like a Volvo or Escalade. I hope my Mom finds the job she has been looking for. I would really love to have an iPod or a Madden NFL ‘07 for my Play Station 2. My Dad wants a new golf club. I would also like all the Gregor books ever created, my favorite book. I wish Shannon will get a new house so they will not get robbed. She also might want a new car like a 4×4 or Mercedes Benz.
Erika, 10: This year, I try not to ask for much, but it is really hard. Well, I can’t really narrow it down to five items. Here’s my list: $25 gift card for Sweet Escapes, Dogz Game Boy, spin paint art machine, Tamaguchi. Thank you for making this Christmas a Christmas I will never forget.
Marleigh, 10: I have been a really good little girl. I want an Xbox 360, Nintendo 3 and a beagle puppy.
Shelby: I wish my Dad gets a massage chair.
Colby, 10: My parents would like a new camera, a water filter, a husky, for all horses to be safe and healthy, a new truck, a vacation. I would like the following, but my parents deserve their stuff more than my stuff: An iPod and good books so I don’t watch so much TV. I want my friend’s mom to get her Christmas raise. Yu-Gi-Go! cards and Nintendo Ds.
